Process & Results

Overview of the Anti-Müllerian Hormone Test:

The Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) test is a vital tool in understanding reproductive health. It measures AMH levels in a blood sample, which is crucial in the development of reproductive organs in both males and females. AMH has different roles depending on sex and age, providing key insights into various reproductive health conditions.

AMH in Males and Females:

In males, AMH is produced by the testes, playing a role in the formation of male reproductive organs. In females, AMH is secreted by the ovaries and is indicative of the ovarian egg supply. The level of AMH varies throughout life, starting from fetal development through to adulthood.

Procedure of the AMH Test:

A health care professional collects a blood sample, usually from a vein in the arm. The procedure is quick and involves minimal discomfort.

Preparation and Risks:

No special preparation is needed for the AMH test. Risks associated with blood tests are minimal, typically involving slight pain or bruising at the needle site.

Interpreting the Results:

Fertility and Age: Higher AMH levels in women signify a larger egg reserve.
PCOS Diagnosis: Elevated AMH levels can indicate PCOS, but further tests are necessary for a definitive diagnosis.
Menopause Status: Low or absent AMH levels suggest menopause or perimenopause.
Ovarian Cancer Treatment Monitoring: Changes in AMH levels can indicate the effectiveness of treatment.
Undescended Testicles in Males: Normal AMH levels indicate functional testicles that haven't descended.
Atypical Genitalia: AMH levels, combined with other tests, assist in diagnosis and understanding the condition.

Remember, AMH levels provide important information but should be interpreted in the context of other medical tests and your overall health status.
